About the book
One magical inn, two kids with supernatural powers, and an ancient Celtic creature trying to destroy their world by Halloween night…
Halloweentown meets Supernatural in this spooky middle-grade series from the acclaimed author of the Storm Crow duology!
Thirteen-year-old Annabella Ballinkay has never been normal, even by her psychic family’s standards. Every generation uses their abilities to help run the Ravenfall Inn, a sprawling, magical B&B at the crossroads of the human world and the Otherworld. But it’s hard to contribute when your only power is foreseeing death.
So when fourteen-year-old Colin Pierce arrives at Ravenfall searching for his missing older brother and the supernatural creature who killed their parents, Anna jumps at the chance to help. But the mysteries tied to Colin go much deeper than either of them expects. . . .
As the two team up to find answers, they unearth Colin’s family’s secret past and discover that Colin has powers beyond his imagination. And now the supernatural creature, one with eerie origins in Celtic mythology, is coming after him. If Anna and Colin can’t stop the creature by Halloween night, the veil to the Otherworld could be ripped open—which would spell destruction for their world as they know it.

Top 5 Reasons to read “Ravenfall”
- Did someone say supernatural powers?
You’re definitely getting a lot of supernatural powers and people in this book. I mean, when I heard what Ravenfall was about, I just had to request myself a copy of the book. Other than the fact that this book has been written by one of my favorite authors. - Do you want a great Halloween read?
The cover is already screaming autumn, and the content of the book clearly does not disappoint. This is one of my favorite spooky reads of the year for MG Readers, but also an older and ‘experienced’ spooky reader might enjoy this book. - Blossoming friendship?
Be prepared for Anna and Colin because their friendship is one of the sweetest. - Great characters
This one is self-explanatory, I suppose, but I just want to mention again how amazing each one is. Josephson really managed to put some life into every character that is somewhat important to the story. - Amazing world building
And we’ll get more because this is going to be a series!

About the author
Kalyn Josephson currently works as a Technical Writer in the tech industry, which leaves room for too many bad puns about technically being a writer. Though she grew up in San Luis Obispo, California, she graduated from Santa Clara University with degrees in Biology and English (Creative Writing). Currently, she lives in the Bay Area with two black cats (who are more like a tiny dragon and an ever tinier owl). THE STORM CROW duology is out now.
